BMW Sauber F1 Team - Malaysian Grand Prix - Practice
Weather: Sunny and dry, 29-35°C Air, 47-49°C Track
In the first two free practice session for the Malaysian
Grand Prix none of the BMW Sauber F1 Team drivers were really
pleased with the set up of their cars. Robert Kubica was seventh
fastest and Nick Heidfeld tenth.
Robert Kubica:
BMW Sauber F1.07-04/BMW P86/7
1st Practice: 10., 1.37.121 min/2nd Practice: 7., 1.36,717
min
"We have had many problems today. Some we were able to
fix in second free practice, but there is still some more
work to do to fix the rest."
Nick Heidfeld:
BMW Sauber F1.07-05/BMW P86/7
2nd Practice: 10., 1.36,862 min
"I am not happy with my car yet. Especially at the beginning
of the session the balance was not good at all, and the car
was difficult to drive. Although later we made a step in the
right direction, there is still a lot of work to do."
Sebastian Vettel:
BMW Sauber F1.07-03/BMW P86/7
1st Practice: 12., 1.37,837 min
"I had a trouble free morning. My main task was the comparison
of the two different tyre specifications and we got a lot
of data. This is a new track for me and I found it wide and
relatively difficult to learn. Particularly in corners ten
and 11 and 13 and 14 it was not easy to find the right line,
but I got used to it pretty quickly."
Willy Rampf (Technical Director):
"Both our race drivers complained about the lack of car
balance. Despite several modifications to the set up of the
car, we were not able to make a significant step forward.
We now have to analyse all the data in order to understand
where this problem comes from."
